Ramayana’s NEVER-before-seen 15-minute footage STUNS exhibitors at Big Cine Expo 2026 in Chennai: “VFX at par with a big-scale Hollywood film like The Lord Of The Rings”
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
An exhibitor who attended the preview told Bollywood Hungama , “It lasted for 15 minutes and, as expected, visuals from the movie that have not yet been revealed to the public were presented to us. Hence, we were strictly prohibited from using our mobile phones or recording any part of the presentation.”
Adding to this, When asked what the preview consisted of, the exhibitor replied, “The major highlights were the various creatures in the movie, including the one-eyed daitya . A bear-like creature was also given prominence. We were amazed by the vision, imagination and VFX. Ramayana truly looks like a global Indian movie. Its effects are at par with those of any Hollywood movie, like The Lord Of The Rings . The trailer had already excited the exhibitors, and this footage preview has added to the hype for us.”
Meanwhile, The source also shared, “The asset was also like a making-of video. In between, quotes from producer Namit Malhotra were incorporated, in which he spoke about his ambitious endeavour. Finally, the Ramayana trailer, which has been out since July 30, formed the last part of the 15-minute preview.”
Notably, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sunny Deol, Sai Pallavi, Ravie Dubey, Rakul Preet Singh, Lara Dutta and others. The period epic’s first part will rollout on Diwali 2026 while the sequel will arrive in cinemas on Diwali 2027.
